Fuqua to add 60 to MBA class

By WHITNEY BECKETT The Chronicle

To offset the costs of admitting more doctoral students, the Fuqua School of Business plans to let its incoming MBA class grow by 20 percent.

Douglas Breeden, dean ofthe business school, said he does not think the increase will sacrifice the quality of students admitted into Fuqua, pointing to a larger number of applicants to business schools nationwide, due in part to the sagging economy.

By ALEX GARINGER Speaking at a meeting of North Carolina State University’s Faculty Senate Tuesday, Duke President Nan Keohane called for more intense collaboration between Duke and its Raleigh neighbor during the next decade.

With North Carolina’s currently poor economic climate, Keohane said, it is essential for universities in the Triangle to forge ahead with strategic partnerships in science and technology to keep the state at the forefront of national research.

“During this time in our history, in terms of the triadic partnership of government, business and academia, it’s up to us to take the lead and show the way,” she said. “It’s not that any of us are flush with money, but we are rich in ideas, in people, in technologies and in dreams that are only a step or two away from realization.”

In her address, Keohane spoke of the numerous ongoing collaborations between Duke and N.C. State, including the development of the Research Triangle Park, shared grants among faculty and numerous interdisciplinary institutes and centers.

Keohane also outlined three specific areas where the two universities could take “bold new steps” in research.

Most prominent among the three is genomics, which Keohane said could combine Duke s clinical restrengths in law, business, public search and the basic sciences with State’s strengths in plant genomics, genome technology and bioinfor-

By CHARLES HANLEY The Associated Press As UN. UNITED NATIONS inspectors moved ahead weapons with plans to return to Iraq, the United States and Russia clashed Tuesday over whether to take Baghdad at its word or impose a new ultimatum. “We have seen this game before,” said a skeptical Secretary of

State Colin Powell.

Powell reaffirmed Washington’s call for a tough anti-Iraq resolution by the UN. Security Council, despite Iraq’s sudden about-face on inspections.

But Russia’s foreign minister said he saw no immediate need for new UN. demands if the inspectors are quickly dispatched. He was backed

up by Arab leaders, Moscow’s traditional allies. The “logic of war” may now be replaced by “the logic of peace,” said one.

The 15-member Security Council majority decided, despite a U.S. request for more time, to quickly schedule a meeting, possibly Wednesday, with chief weapons inspector Hans Blix to discuss renewed inspections.

The Americans, supported by Britain and Colombia, wanted first to prepare a new resolution, diplomats said.

Blix then met with Iraqi representatives, after which the weapons inspection agency said talks on final arrangements for the return of inspectors would take place “and be concluded” at a meeting in Vienna during

the week of Sept. 30. Earlier Tuesday, the Iraqis said the talks would be held in 10 days.

In the Middle East, the business of preparing for war went on, as American warplanes flew under aggressive new rules over Iraq, and U.S. commanders considered basing heavy bombers closer by.

At a U.N. news conference at which Powell and Russia’s Igor Ivanov laid out conflicting views, Secretary-General Kofi Annan appealed for them to stick together on Iraq.

This is “the beginning, not an end,” he said. “We should try to maintain the unity of purpose that has emerged.”

North Korea confirms role in kidnapping

By YURI KAGEYAMA The Associated Press

In an astonishing conPYONGYANG, North Korea cession at a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, North Korean leader Kim Jong II confirmed Tuesday that North Korean spies kidnapped Japanese citizens decades ago, and said at least four are still alive.

Ending years of denials, Kim admitted about a dozen Japanese were kidnapped by North Korean agents, said it was “regrettable and would never happen again,” and added that those responsible would be punished.

Kim’s comments opened the way for Japan and North Korea to begin long-stalled talks toward establishing diplomatic ties. Kim and Koizumi announced in a joint statement the talks would resume in October.

“I strongly protested the abductions,” Koizumi said in a news conference, adding that Kim apologized. “Kim said it was done by elements in the military, and an investigation was under way.”

“I thought we had to hold talks to improve relations between Japan and North Korea. But my heart aches when I consider how the families must feel,” Koizumi said.

In the joint statement, North Korea promised to continue a moratorium on missile firing through 2003 and allow nuclear inspections by the InternationalAtomic Energy Agency, and Japan pledged economic cooperation. The

statement did not have details.

“This happened over decades of hostile relations and I want to talk about it frankly,” Kim was quoted as telling See KIDNAPPING on page 10

Licensing difficulties push back Subway opening

By MEGAN CARROLL and KIRA ROSOFF The Chronicle Despite promises that Subway will open soon in

the West Union Building, students who walk past the old Breyers ice cream stand are still greeted with the dust and clutter of unfinished construction.

The delay in opening is due mostly to issues with the electrical permitting process, said David Randolph, district manager for ARAMARK Corp., which manages the new Subway and several other campus eateries. He added that everything else needed for opening the popular fast food chain has arrived.

“I would guess that it will be open within two weeks,” Randolph said. “But if you had asked me that two weeks ago I would have said the same thing.”

Jim Wulforst, director of dining services, said the installation will not take that long. He said the three permits—for heating ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing and from the health department—should all be cleared within the next few days, after which workers could complete the installation in another few days.

“It frustrates me that every time we launch things on campus, we have trouble,” Wulforst said.

“We thought this would be a simple installation, but every time we rip something apart we run into more road blocks.”

The planning for the Subway began this July, and it was slated to open by Labor Day. “They had more than ample time to get the ball rolling,” said Isaac Dolgovskij, Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee co-chair. “I don’t think they did everything in their ability to see the

process forwarded.”

Arthur Brodie, an employee who manned the Breyers ice cream counter last year, will also be in charge of the Subway when it eventually opens its doors. He said he has heard little about the delay.

“I don’t know why it hasn’t opened,” Brodie said. “I know it had something to do with miscommunication.”

Brodie said he never received any definite time frame about the opening of Subway but believes it will certainly open in the near future. “The equipment is all here now. Presumably it will be in action in the near future,” he said.

Some students said the delay has affected them little. They pointed out that the University has many other eating options to choose from.

“Once it opens, I will try it out, but it’s not like Sub-

way’s the only choice around here,” freshman Philipp

Buff said. “I [just] want to get some sandwiches.”

Quitting smoking adds years to life

A recent study by the University and American Cancer Society researchers shows that even 65year-old, lifelong cigarette smokers can significantly prolong their lives by quitting. Increases in life expectancies for those who quit smoking compared with those who continue smoking were found for all age ranges. The researchers used 15 years of data from the Cancer Prevention Study 11, which was drawn from a large, national sample, and were funded by the National Institute on Aging.

Researchers question high drug doses

Twenty percent of prescription drugs are sold with instructions that manufacturers later change, almost always to reduce doseage or add health warnings, according to Georgetown University researchers. Drugs released in the past five years are more likely than older drugs to require a change. The study confirms fears among health experts that drugs are being studied at high doses to emphasize effects and then marketed at the same doseage.

Study suggests hour of daily exercise A report that dramatically raises the recommended amount of daily activity has been met with skepticism by doctors.

By MALAVIKA PRABHU The Chronicle

A 30-minute exercise routine and one-size-fits-all dietary rules are no longer the best guidelines for a healthy lifestyle, according to a new study from the Food and Nutrition Board. Its report, however, has garnered mixed reviews from the Duke community.

The Food and Drug Administration-funded study proposed an hour of moderately high-intensity exercise daily, as well as a new range for consumption of the various macromolecules found in food—carbohydrates, fats and proteins—in an effort to maintain good health and protect against diseases.

Previously, the Office of the Surgeon General had recommended 30 minutes of moderate-to-high-intensity exercise three to four days a week.

Researchers determined the baseline for exercising to be an hour of walking at four miles per hour every day, and only higher-intensity exercise would allow for shorter workouts. They found this optimal level of exercise by measuring subjects’ use of water and energy for three weeks, concluding that healthy people expended an amount of energy corresponding to an hour each day spent walking at four miles per hour.

Joanne Lupton, chair of the Food and Nutrition Board, said people must exercise every day to reap its

full benefits.

“There is a carryover effect from

the exercise that is saved in your metabolic rate,” Lupton said. She added that taking a day off from exercise would require both compensating

Lupton cautioned that the “hour-aday” exercise recommendation includes activities such as walking up the stairs or doing housework, but that these activities would probably not be intense enough to satisfy the requirement without additional exercise.

The current dietary recommendations endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration are represented by the food pyramid and recommended daily allowances for vitamins and minerals. The new guidelines, released Sept. 5, are different in that

they suggest a range of macromolecules for ideal consumption, allowing greater leeway in acceptable diets.

The panel proposed that between 45 percent and 65 percent of daily

calories should come from carbohydrates—which is lower than previously accepted—with a maximum of 25 percent from sugars; between 20 and 35 percent from fats; and between 10 and 35 percent from proteins.

Police investigate bombing in Palestinian school yard

By NASSER SHIYOUKHI The Associated Press

HEBRON, West Bank Israeli police and Palestinian officials in the West Bank said they believe extremist Jewish settlers planted two bombs in a Palestinian school yard Tuesday. One device exploded, injuring five children.

Yehoshua Mor-Yosef, spokesperson for the Jewish Settlers’ Council, said the bombing was an “immoral and illegal act.”

Israeli military officials said the explosion occurred near a water cooler in the courtyard of the Ziff junction secondary school south of Hebron. The second bomb was found and safely detonated. The Israeli military controls the junction, a remote region populated mainly by Bedouins.

Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres’ office, mean-

while, said the government had rejected a Palestinian cease-fire proposal during a meeting at U.N. headquarters in New York.

The proposal by Palestinian Cabinet MinisterNabil Shaath called for an end to Palestinian attacks against Israeli civilians in the first phase and an end to all attacks in the second. Peres’ office said the plan was unacceptable because it would allow attacks on those not classified as civilians during its first phase. That was taken to mean Jewish settlers and soldiers in the West Bank and Gaza.

Shaath said the cease-fire also calls for an Israeli commitment to stop killing suspected Palestinian militants and destroying houses. “If Israel will do that, then this will pave away for a comprehensive ceasefire, but unfortunately Mr. Peres said that he rejects it,” the Palestinian minister said.

..

In other developments, the Israeli Supreme Court rejected a petition by the families of two Palestinian suicide bombers to prevent the destruction of their homes by Israeli forces, Army Radio reported. The two bombers carried out a Dec. 1 attack in which 11 Israelis were killed. Relatives denied they knew of the suicide attackers’ plans.

Israeli troops entered the Khan Younis refugee camp in Gaza earlier Tuesday and blew up metal workshops where the Israelis say Palestinians were making weapons, the latest in a series ofalmost nightly raids by Israeli forces in Gaza.

Israeli forces destroyed a house Tuesday evening in the Gaza-Egypt border, residents said. The area is the scene of frequent clashes, and Israeli forces often

N.C. House tables referendum on lottery this year From staff and wire reports North Carolina citizens will not be voting in November on whether they would like a state lottery, as the state House rejected legislation Tuesday that would have put a lottery referendum on the ballot.

The 69-50 vote against a referendum represents a major defeat for Gov. Mike Easley, who was pushing the lottery as a means of funding various education initiatives—specifically those aimed at reducing class size and improving preschool education. However, concerns about the nature of the lottery and the revenue it would generate drove lawmakers to vote down the measure.

“It clearly sends a message that you can get something for nothing, that for a dollar or two you can win a jackpot,” House Minority Leader Leo Daughtry, R-Johnston, said during the 2 1/2-hour debate. “It is not the right thing to do.”

North Carolina is currently one of 12 states without a

lottery, and the only one on the East Coast. Tennessee is

the only neighboring state without a lottery.

Opponents of the measure said the lottery is an unreliable source of revenue, preys on the poor and creates compulsive gamblers. “People should look to us to encourage them to do things that are good for them, not to encourage them to throw their money down a rathole,” said Rep. Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe.

But lottery supporters cited the fact that North Carolinians will still go to neighboring states ifthey want to play the numbers. Each day, residents of North Carolina spend approximately $685,000 playing the lotteries in Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia, said Mark Erwin, chair of the North Carolina Lottery for Education Coalition.

Easley, a Democrat, also chided legislators for failing to provide an alternative method of funding education initiatives for the state. Estimates suggest that a lottery

could generate annual revenues of $250 million to $4OO million, which the referendum would have earmarked for programs to help at-risk 4-year-olds and to shrink elementary class sizes. “It is unbelievable that the Legislature would deny the people of this state the right to vote on a lottery” he said.

According to polls, at least 70 percent of North Carolinians support an education lottery, Erwin said.

Speaker Jim Black said he believed the defeat would become a campaign issue for the GOP. All but three Republicans joined 14 Democrats in defeating the measure.

Originally, the House’s Democratic leadership built the referendum into a $14.3 billion budget bill Monday.

But Tuesday, Black decided to make the referendum a separate proposal.

The vote essentially ends debate on the lottery issue for the year, but the question is a perennial one and likely to arise in the future.

Suspect harbors vital information

WFjSmm

Rrhj...

By ROBERT SCHLESINGER The Boston Globe

WASHINGTON Ramzi Binalshibh, the al Qaeda operative captured in Karachi last week, could provide crucial information for U.S. interrogators seeking insight into how the terrorist network is regrouping after the setback of the Afghan war, say intelligence specialists and former law enforcement officials.

“He knows what al Qaeda looked like after 9/11 and after the fall of Kandahar and Kabul, and that’s very, very important,” said lan Cuthbertson, director of the counterterrorism project at the World Policy Institute at New School University in New York City. “We have lots of information from Afghanistan on what al Qaeda looked like before 9/11... He knows what it looked like after.”

Other specialists described Binalshibh as a gold mine of information about the group.

The task will now fall to U.S. interrogators to get at that trove of information, working under the constraints of U.S. law, which prohibit the use of drugs and violence.

“They’re not going to beat him to a pulp; they’re not going to pull out his fingernails,” said Vincent Cannistraro, former counterterrorism director at the CIA. “They’ll use psychological tactics on him.”

Captured a week ago after an extended gun and grenade battle with Pakistani commandos, Binalshibh is the highest-ranking al Qaeda prisoner taken into custody since Abu Zubaydah was captured in April.

A U.S. official said that the freshness of Binalshibh’s information is “critically important.”

“He’s an al Qaeda facilitator and recruiter and is believed to have knowledge as to how al Qaeda finances and coordinates terrorist activities around the

world,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. “He wasn’t living in Afghanistan. He was living abroad, and he’s assisting in the coordination and execution of this effort. So he clearly has a broad view and a broad understanding of how al Qaeda operates on a worldwide basis.”

Two other U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity noted that Binalshibh could also have detailed information about the location of senior al Qaeda operatives and operations currently in the pipeline.

“His knowledge will be very useful to verify our own knowledge base on the Sept. 11 attack and see if we’re missing anything,” a defense official said. “As with a lot of these guys, some of the most useful information is who else do they know. That’s extremely effective for breaking up other rings, and that takes time.”

It is still uncertain whether Binalshibh will cooperate. In the coming weeks, U.S. interrogators will try to figure out his psyche and how best to encourage his cooperation.

Groups like al Qaeda tend to attract at least two kinds of followers, said Gregg McCrary, a former profiler for the Federal Bureau of Investigation; those drawn to the ideology or religion and those drawn to the mayhem and notoriety.

“We tend to target the more psychopathic individuals, those with no guilt or remorse, because they really have no loyalty to the group,” McCrary said.

KEOHANE SPEAKS matics. She added that both schools’ engineering programs, State’s veterinary medicine and agricultural departments, and Duke’s new Center for Human Disease Models could also be brought into play.

Keohane’s two other suggestions for major collaborative efforts between the schools were research and development related to homeland security, and research in the marine sciences She stressed that Duke and State should strongly pursue funds available in the new federal homeland security bill that are intended for universities with expertise in agents of biological warfare, Nan Keohan emergency medical service, educational outreach, technical assistance, interdisciplinary public policy research and engineering.

“Does that description sound familiar?” Keohane asked the almost 100 State faculty members. “There’s a rumor that Texas A&M is first in line to get all this.

Why should the Aggies beat us to the punch?”

N.C. State Chancellor Marye Anne Fox agreed that

collaboration was essential, and said she was amazed when she looked over the current list of joint efforts.

“The list is impressive and inspiring. These kinds of [programs] enrich students and enliven us [faculty],” Fox said.

Keohane added that the schools need to strengthen their current ties.

“We can improve our financial condition and management practices by taking advantage of opportunities to consolidate services and programs,” Keohane said. “We can enhance academic quality for both of us by using the attractions of the Triangle to lure the best and brightest, and we can think strategically about matched hires and partnerships.”

State faculty said they were impressed with Keohane’s speech, particularly her call for the universities to think

on a long-term basis.

“It was great to see that she really didknow the importance of our collaboration,” said Kathy HamiltonBrown, an instructor in parks, recreation and tourism management. “It wasn’t a discussion about public versus private. It was about the serious issues, and I hope we can take her up on the challenge.”

The school yard bomb went off just after recess ended at 9:45 a.m. A 6-year-old boy was among the five injured children.

Palestinians killed an Israeli couple, their 9-yearold son and a soldier from Hebron in an ambush July 26 at the same junction.

Palestinian Cabinet Minister Saeb Erekat said he held the Israeli government responsible for Tuesday’s bombing. Israel “failed to bring any of those who kill Palestinians in cold blood to justice,” he said.

Most of the violent incidents allegedly involving Jewish extremists have centered on the Hebron area. The most recent incident was July 28, when a

Hebron is divided in to Palestinian and Israeli-controlled zones, with Israeli soldiers patrolling the center of the city, where about 450 Jewish settlers, including some of the most militant in the West Bank, live in three enclaves and clash frequently with Palestinians.

Israeli police foiled an attack by Jewish settlers April 28, when their car was stopped next to a Palestinian girls school on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. A huge bomb was found in a trailer the car was towing. Police said the settlers intended to set off the bomb as Palestinian girls arrived for school.

Four Israelis from Bat Ayin, a settlement north of Hebron, were arrested and remain in custody.

output from both graduate students and faculty.

Fuqua, which has one of the smallest programs among top-tier business schools, currently supports 65 doctoral students, up from 57 last year. Breeden, who just competed his first year as dean, hopes to increase that number to 100 within five years.

Breeden said that with fewer job positions available and increasing applications to business schools, Fuqua could admit additional MBA students from the same pool of applicants without decreasing the class’ quality.

Breeden pointed to an increase in both the average GMAT score of applicants—from 690 to 701 —and their average grade point average—from 3.43 to 3.59 “We are turning away very good students,” said Richard Staelin, deputy dean. “There are lots more in reserve.”

Staelin cautioned, however,

that he would like to receive about 300 more applicants to maintain the school’s selectivity.

He also added that additional applicants will be important Doug Breeden when the economy improves and the number of applications decreases.

Breeden said one possible pool of qualified applicants is U.S. students, whose applications have decreased by 24 percent in the last few years, while the percent of international applications has tripled.

Staelin added that another main concern for the school is to maintain what he called Fuqua’s “collaboration and innovation,” and its “small school atmosphere.”

“The challenge that we have is to expand and to maintain still the culture we have here,” he said, pointing to the recently completed Fox Student Center as a hub for Fuqua student life.

One area that will require additional attention will be career services, said Dan Nagy, assistant dean and director of MBA programs. He said other concerns, such as rising class sizes, should be minimized, as the school fulfills its plan to increase the faculty’s size to 100. In the last two years, the faculty grew from about 60 to 80.

EXERCISE from page 4 fiber, which can lower the risk of colon cancer. Adult men 50 and under need to consume 38 grams daily and adult women need 21 grams, according to the guidelines.

Some members of the Duke community were excited by the dietary guidelines, but voiced concern over the findings related to exercise.

“I’m not entirely sure it’s the way to go because only a minority were at the last standard,” said Dr. Howard Eisenson, director of the Diet and Fitness Center. He thought the panel should have phased in something more achievable for most people.

Eisenson said the liberalization of the food guidelines allowed a wider variety of diets to be included. However, he said the ranges were more a guide to health care workers than to the general public, say-

CURRICULUM from page 1 taught by Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Jeffrey Peirce. The course, which now incorporates more economic optimization- theory, is modeled after similar courses taught at The Johns Hopkins University.

“I’m bridging the gap between economics and engineering,” Peirce explained. “Many of Pratt’s students come to Duke because of the [Trinity College] influences. A lot of our students do not go into hard-core engineering, and economics helps them compete in other jobs.”

ing most people will not be able to correlate the ranges to their diet and apply the

ommendation, particularly for less active people.

“The only fear I have is the group that we are trying to target are the sedentary, and they are going to be blown away,” she said.

Alphin also criticized the study’s recommendation to exercise seven days a week. Exercisers should either ake one day off or, if they are going to exercise, take an easy day at the gym, she said. In direct contrast to Lupton’s comments, Alphin said people should not have to make up a missed day or

cut back on calories on a day they do not exercise.

She also emphasized that consistency is more important than quantity. “The bottom line is what you are willing to do on a regular basis,” she said.

Many students had similar reactions to the new findings.

“I just don’t think people should work out every day—it seems too destructive,” sophomore Megan Marshall said. “I don’t think it’s that necessary.”

On the other hand, varsity volleyball player Krista Dill was impressed with the guidelines. “I feel that exercise is so important. Sometimes we forget about treating our bodies well.”

Dill, a junior, said being an athlete makes her more conscious of what she eats. “The problem with nutrition is that they try to set these percentiles,” she said. She added that one’s optimal weight is body-specific, and that finding it is important to leading a healthy life.

major in Trinity for Pratt students, Myers said he hopes similar collaboration with other departments will develop in the future.

Pratt is also increasing communication with the math and physics departments, in hopes of making firstand second-year math and physics classes more relevant to engineering, said senior Kyle Smith, who served on the curriculum committee. Smith said standing committees will meet each semester to try to make sure that the classes use examples more relevant to engineering.

The computing language used in the required Engineering 53 class will also change, from C++ to Matlab. “I haven’t used [C++] since that course,” Smith

said. “In undergraduate classes, Matlab is more practical.”

For students planning to go to graduate school, which more often uses C++, Pratt is adding Engineering 153, an elective course taught in the spring semester using C++.

Some major pilot programs will be launched next year, Jones said.

Smith said he wishes more changes geared toward improving the firstyear experience had been made, but classes like a required first-year design course were not possible because of many other requirements.

He also said he would like to see a first-year writing course focused on engineering—an idea he brought up to Myers once, but that has not yet materialized.

Franca Alphin, student health services dietitian, was encouraged by the new findings. “I certainly think we had to make a change in the dietary guidelines,” she said.

IRAQ from page 2 The Security Council then went into closed-door consultations on a timetable for dealing with the fastchanging Iraq issue.

The council sent weapons inspectors into Iraq after the 1990-91 Gulf War, to ensure that President Saddam Hussein’s regime destroyed any chemical or biological weapons it possessed, and any capacity to produce those or nuclear weapons.

The inspectors left in 1998, ahead of U.S. airstrikes, amid Iraqi allegations that some were spying for the United States and countercharges that Baghdad was not cooperating with the inspection teams.

The international “unity of purpose” Annan cited emerged after President George W. Bush, in a speech to the UN. General Assembly last Thursday, forcefully called for the Security Council to threaten action against Iraq if it did not allow the in-

spectors back.

If the world body did not act, Bush made clear, Washington would feel free to launch a military attack.

Bush’s was the opening move in what may become a high-stakes diplomatic chess game.

Iraq’s surprise reply came late Monday, in a letter to Annan in which Foreign Minister Naji Sabri said Baghdad would allow the inspectors to return “without conditions” in order to “remove any doubts that Iraq still possesses weapons of mass destruction.”

Annan told reporters Tuesday that chief inspector Blix “is ready to move as quickly as is practicable.”

KIDNAPPING

from page 2

Koizumi by a Japanese delegation official who briefed reporters afterward. “I want to apologize and it will never be allowed to happen again.”

Six of the 11 Japanese citizens Tokyo has long claimed were abducted were confirmed to be dead, while one never entered the country. North Korea also admitted that two others who disappeared in Europe had also died.

Although one of the victims, Megumi Yokota—who disappeared when she was 13—had died, her daughter was confirmed to be still alive in Pyongyang, the official said.

Kim acknowledged that in the past some misguided people in his country had carried out the kidnappings to learn the Japanese language and assume their identities, the official said.

“I am shocked. When I think of the families’ feelings, the pain is unbearable,” Koizumi was quoted as telling Kim. How the people had died was not immediately clear. Japan demanded a thorough investigation of the deaths.

Many other divisive issues—including the North’s suspected development of nuclear weapons and alleged spying activities off Japan’s shores—loomed over the one-day summit between Kim and Koizumi, the first ever between the two nations.

But for the Japanese public—and Koizumi’s political career—the most volatile issue was securing the

return of the 11 people who were allegedly abducted

by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s.

“We take it seriously,” North Korea’s Central News Agency quoted a Foreign Ministry spokesperson as saying in a statement. “It is regrettable that these issues surfaced in the past as a product of the abnormal relationship between the [North] and Japan. We will prevent such things from happening in the future.”

The spokesperson, who was not identified by name, said North Korea is ready to help the survivors to meet with their families and Japanese officials, and take “necessary steps to let them return home or visit their hometowns if they wish.”

The isolated communist state had repeatedly denied the abductions but had recently promised to look for missing Japanese as a humanitarian issue.

Japan and North Korea have never had diplomatic relations, and normalization talks fell apart two years ago over the kidnapping issue.

The two nations had been so far apart on so many issues that many Japanese were stunned when they heard late last month that Koizumi had decided to visit North Korea—the first Japanese prime minister to do so.

The talks, which were held at a guesthouse on the outskirts of this North Korean capital, started off in a friendly mood.

“I am not only happy that the prime minister has come so early in the morning to open a new page in history in North Korean-Japanese relations, but I also feel thankful as a host nation,” Kim told Koizumi.

PEER ASSESSMENT frontpage, in broad groupings, and I think that pinpoint estimations are kind of useless.”

Many officials, including Guttentag, said they declined to respond to the reputational survey because they felt ill-qualified to judge the academic quality of other schools.

“I think to a certain degree [the responses are] going to be based on limited knowledge,” Guttentag said. “Beyond a relatively small number of fairly well-known universities, it’s hard for me to see how the people answering the surveys can make a distinction.”

Daniel Gallagher, dean of undergraduate admissions at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N.J., suggested that faculty members, high school guidance counselors, employers, deans of graduate school admissions and even college coaches would be better qualified to judge colleges than the officials surveyed by U.S. News.

“They’re asking people who aren’t really in a position to judge other institutions,” he said. “[Presidents, provosts and deans of admission] are probably the least likely group to know about other institutions.”

In addition, officials may be inclined to bias the rankings in favor of their schools due to the hypercompetitive nature of college admissions. The AGB poll found that 7 percent of presidents admitted to downgrading ratings of rival schools in order to make their schools look better.

According to the U.S. News article accompanying the ranking, 64 percent of the 4,095 college officials who received questionnaires responded to them.

Some at smaller schools felt compelled to respond to the questionnaire to secure inclusion in the ranking.

“It was ludicrous,” said Aline Rossitef, dean of admissions at Teikyo Post University in Waterbury, Conn. “We’re stuck between a rock and a hard place.

If we don’t respond to the surveys, we’re not in.”

College officials also reported that the subjectivity ofthe reputational scores was exacerbated by the fact that many respondents did not know what criteria they should use to rank schools.

“There was no effort to define what ‘reputation’ is,” Rossiter said.

U.S. News, for its part, staunchly defended its survey and the reputational scores, giving no indication that pressure from colleges would cause the magazine to eliminate that or any component of the

ranking.

“We’re not doing this to try to make the collegeshappy,” Folkers said. “We’re doing this as a service to students and their families.”

“I’m not surprised [that Subway has not opened],” Devisetty said. “This is Duke. It always happens like this.”

In senior Jeremy Cromer’s experience, dining services has shown a lack of scheduling and preparation previously.

Vik Devisetty, a first-year medical student and former president of Campus Council, complained more forcefully about ARAMARK, saying that it does not have the well-being ofthe students in mind when making decisions. He said ARAMARK has a responsibility to be more receptive to DUSDAC’s recommendations.

The magazine published its fourth annual family-friendly list in its September issue. The editors of Carolina Parent recognized Duke for its commitment to helping employees balance th demands of work and family life “Duke provides basic benefits but also goes above and beyond when it comes to helping employees balance work and family responsibilities,” wrote the editors of Carolina Parent. “It offers an on-site child-care center, a child-care consultant for individual family needs, a home child-care resource, a child-care scholarship fund and an elder-care consultant fo individual family needs.”

“Having my children enrolled in daycare at Duke Children’s Campus is convenient and comforting as a working parent,” Nagel said.

“Because of the location, I can drop my children off later, which allows me to spend more time with them, and it is comforting to know that I can be by their side at a moment’s notice.

Women’s golf places 4th in Preview Coaches Engstrom surges in final round as other Blue Devil golfers struggle

poll: worthless

ByABBY GOLD The Chronicle

The defending national champion women’s golf team finished fourth at 38over-par in the NCAA Fall Preview at the par-72 Kampen Golf Course in West Lafayette, Ind. Duke finished 13 strokes behind the tournament’s victor, Arizona. Oklahoma State took second place at plus-28, while Vanderbilt claimed third place, finishing just one stroke ahead ofthe Blue Devils.

Tuesday’s final round featured a late tournament surge from senior Kristina Engstrom. With a 2-under 70 for the day, Engstrom climbed the leader board and finished tied for fifth place after starting the third round tied for 25th. She recorded three straight birdies on the front nine and five birdies for the day. Completing the front nine at 4-under, Engstrom bogeyed the 12th hole and then doublebogeyed the 14th hole to set her back to 1-under par. But with a birdie on the 16th hole, she was able to finish off a strong afternoon at 2-under par.

“I just got a really really good start,” Engstrom said. “I had a little difficulty in the middle of the round but came back and made a birdie coming in.”

See GOLF on page 16

On Jan. 17, the Washington Redskins named Steve Spurrier their new head coach, setting off a wave of discussion across the football world. Those with ties to Spurrier’s former team,, the Florida Gators, certainly made their voices heard. But lost in the hype was the impact that the hiring had on a college football program that was in the midst of a 23-game losing streak.

As head coach at Florida, Spurrier, who served as Duke’s offensive coordinator from 1980 to 1982 and head coach from 1987 to 1989, always listed his former team fp on his ballot in the ESPN/USA Today preseason coaches poll. He always managed to Evan Davis nro From the cheap seats bel.‘leve—or at' least pretend to believe—that the Blue Devils were capable of putting together a winning season, whether they went winless the previous year or not.

Volleyball struggles, defeats North Carolina A&T Blue Devils end losing streak, beat underdog Aggies 3-1 in surprisingly competitive match

By C.K. SWETT The Chronicle

its 3 The volleyball team returned to winning ways Tuesday night at N.C. A&T 1 Cameron Indoor Stadium in a 3-1 victory over North Carolina A&T (4-8). Coming off three losses this past weekend in the Duke Classic, however, the Blue Devils (9-4) were challenged by the underdog Aggies and did not dominate as they had against weaker competition during their 8-0 start to the season.

Senior middle blocker and tri-captain Rachel Vander Griend led the team, blasting a match-best 13 kills on her way to a .294 hitting percentage. Vander Griend was supported with solid defensive play from Stephanie Istvan and Jill Sonne with 20 and 15 digs respectively.

It was this defensive effort that head coach Jolene Nagel cited as the highlight of the match.

“Our strength definitely came from our defense, our Duke

BOBBY RUSSELL7THE CHRONICLE

STEPHANIE ISTVAN sets for Rachel Vander Griend as the Blue Devils outlasted North Carolina A&T 3-1.

digs,” she said.

She expressed mixed emotions, though, concerning the overall play of the team.

“We made too many errors tonight, too many missed serves. It ruined the flow of the game,” the coach said. “Volleyball is a very mental game and we need to improve our mental toughness.”

Captain Josie Weymann echoed these sentiments, worrying about “insecurities that build on each other” following the disappointing performance last weekend.

“We are in a rut right now,” she said. “But tomorrow is another day.”

At the beginning of the match, the Blue Devils struggled to pull away from the overmatched yet fiesty Aggies. A string of seven straight points midway through the first game established Duke’s first lead, but errors hampered the run, and the Aggies remained close before the Blue Devils closed out the game 30-26.

Duke lost whatever momentum it had gained when N.C. A&T’s Amanda Padilla went down early in the second game clutching her knee. It took almost five minutes to assist her off the court, and the inspired N.C. A&T squad squeaked out a 32-30 win.

Knotted at one game apiece, the Blue Devils concentrated on regaining their focus. Fighting through inconsistent play and a rash of errors, they defeated the Aggies 30-20 and 30-27. As the final kill caromed off the outstretched arms of an Aggie, the Blue Devils appeared more relieved than elated.

“Hopefully we can gain some momentum from this victory,” Nagel said. “Tomorrow in practice we can work on some ofthe things we struggled with tonight.”

Among the things they will be working on in practice will likely be improving on their .134 team hitting percentage.

“We are still getting to know each other on court in competitive situations,” she said. “We learn something new every day.”

Alabama, Kentucky see punishments upheld from playing in a bowl gamefor two years.

The appeals report stated that the Alabama booster’s involvement in the penalties were appropriate “because the recruitment of defensive lineman violations in this case were numerous Kenny Smith in 1995 and 1996.

“But for the unequivocal cooperation of secret witness was permissible only as the university, it’s very clear the death background information about illegal penalty most probably would have been actions of a booster in the recruitment imposed,” said Clemson athletic director of lineman Albert Means in 2000.

Kentucky, off to LEXINGTON, Ky. its best start in four years, had its postseason hopes dashed Tuesday as the NCAA upheld a one-year bowl ban.

The bowl ban was one of several sanctions levied in January after internal and NCAA investigations turned up dozens of recruiting violations.

“It is extremely difficult to express the disappointment that our football players and coaching staff are feeling after this decision,” Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart said. “They now have to pay the price for the infractions that others have created.”

Kentucky administrators appealed the ban in February, claiming that the penalty was too harsh because the violations did not give the school a clear competitive advantage.

Terry Don Phillips, chairman of the NCAA’s Division I Infractions Appeals ’

KENTUCKY PRESIDENT LEE TODD AND ATHLETIC DIRECTOR MITCH EARNHARDT listen to questions during the University of Kentucky’s press conference,

Committee, disagreed with that assertion.

“The Kentucky case was one of widespread abuse by employees of the university,” Phillips said. “It is about institutional responsibility for the conduct and control of its employees and the duty and care an institution must exercise in the administration of its athletic program.”

The committee stated in its report that the penalty was based primarily on Kentucky having obtained a “significant and protracted recruiting advantage” as a result of the violations.

The report continued: “‘Recruiting advantage’ also encompasses obtaining an enhanced reputation for the institution based on favorable communications between recruited prospects and future recruits.... We conclude Kentucky construes the term ’recruiting advantage’ too narrowly in its argument.”

School officials, including President Lee Todd, argued their case in front ofthe appeals committee last month in Chicago.

“I’m very disappointed with this ruling,” Todd said. “The prospect of postseason play in any sport is what drives the hope and optimism for all of us.

“I’m disappointed for our fans. I’m disappointed for our coaches. And most of

A surprising 3-0 start, including a season-opening victory over then-No. 17 Louisville, had made the possibility of a

bowl berth more realistic.

“This team has displayed great heart and courage in the face of adversity, and I truly believe that it will remain focused on the upcoming schedule and continue what could be a storybook season for Kentucky football,” Barnhart said.

Kentucky football coach Guy Morriss was informed of the decision Monday afternoon. It took him several hours to come to terms with the ruling.

“I was pretty numb for awhile, but you deal with it,” he said. “It’s over, it’s out of your control and you move on.”

Players kept the loss of their chance to compete in a bowl game in perspective.

“We’re a little bit disappointed, but we expected this,” junior quarterback Jared Lorenzen said. “All that changes is that our game at the end of the season against Tennessee is now our bowl game.”

In addition to the postseason ban, the school was placed on three years’ probation, forced to reduce its total number of football scholarships to 80 instead of the permitted 85 over the same period and cited for a lack of institutional control over the program.

The violations were committed during the four-year tenure of former coach Hal Mumme, who resigned in the wake of the NCAA’s investigation.

Mumme was not personally sanctioned by the NCAA and was hired in June as the coach of Southeastern Louisiana’s newly restored football program.

“I have a real problem with programs that get a sanction of ’lack of institutional control’ and the head coach of that program walks away free and clear and moves on to coach at another school while the students are left to pay the price,” Todd said.

At the time, the bowl ban did not seem to be a significant penalty as Kentucky was coming off consecutive 2-

Ewing retires from NBA to begin coaching career

As Patrick Ewing NEW YORK talked about his retirement, there was a softness in his eyes, a relaxed look replacing the glare he used while establishing himself as one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history.

Then Ewing saw old. pal Charles Oakley in the back of the room and his eyes danced. “My hit man, Oak! We had some times, didn’t we, Oak?” Ewing shouted from the podium.

Indeed they did.

DAVIS from page 11 Now, with Spurrier out of college football, Duke no longer finds itself listed in the “Others Receiving Votes” section of the preseason poll. Looks like the Blue Devils might actually have to win a few games—like every other team in the poll—if they hope to receive mention.

Spurrier insisted that this practice was not his way of lashing out at the coaches poll, but rather a form of showing gratitude for the school that twice gave him a job. But no matter how you slice it, Spurrier’s ritual is one of several examples that point out what has become an increasingly apparent notion: The coaches poll has got to go.

In reality, the coaches poll is to the AP poll what RC Cola is to Coke: A similar but ultimately inferior alternative. This week’s polls have few discrepancies, but

the fact that whether one cites Texas or Oklahoma as college football’s No. 2 team depends solely on which poll is used shows the need for one of the two sets of rankings—the coaches poll—to be eliminated.

The judgment used by Spurrier is simply one example of the coaches poll’s problems. Few complained about Spurrier’s bias because they knew what the rest of the country knew: Once Duke embarked upon its losing ways, their preseason vote wouldn’t make one bit of difference. But what if the apocalypse came and Duke was a top-25 team?

Would Spurrier’s bias make a difference in polls throughout the season?

An even more egregious example of misusing the coaches poll, however, occurred last season, when Colorado and Nebraska flip-flopped despite the fact that neither team played a game in the interim days.

With one week to go in the season,

Making her NCAA and Duke debut, freshman Liz Janangelo fired an 80 Tuesday to finish the tournament 8over par.

Janangelo made a strong run in the first two rounds of play and was Duke’s leading player going into Tuesday. She dropped from the top of the leaderboard after hitting three bogies and a double-bogey on the front nine.

Teammate Niloufar Aazam-Zanganeh shot a 79 to finish tied for 35th, while junior Leigh Anne Hardin capped off the

tournament with an 81 to tie for 48th.

“The field was deeper than what we’ve been seeing and that was nice,” said head coach Dan Brooks. “I think it’s neat when it’s deep and there are a lot of different teams that can rise to the top.

Ranking Duke

Seniors

searching for jobs were the biggest winners Friday when they learned Duke placed fourth in the U.S, News and World Report’s annual rankings of undergraduate institutions, up from eighth last year.

However, despite the jump, this new ranking doesn’t indicate too much of a difference in Duke’s relative quality, since all the schools ranked between fourth and eighth last year were consolidated into the fourth place this year. As a result, the administration shouldn’t be patting themselves on the back too much for this jump in the rankings.

One consequence ofthis consolidation is that the top-10 schools have basically been broken down into tiers: Princeton, Harvard and Yale obviously make up the first tier of schools, followed by Duke and its peer institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania. Ranking schools into tiers, rather than numerically, is a better way to rank colleges, since it places the emphasis on substantive differences This sort of system will be of more help to students looking at what school they want to attend since it gives a more accurate indication of a school’s quality. Despite the criticism often leveled at these rankings, they are an extremely valuable tool for students to use in order to determine which colleges they should be looking at. While a decision should not be based solely on rankings, they are an important starting point.

Beauty pageant black eye

The

Miss America Pageant—which allegedly forced former Miss North Carolina Rebekah Revels to resign her title in July because her former boyfriend bragged to pageant officials that he possessed topless pictures ofher—needs to delineate between public qualifications and irrelevant private activities. Chances are most of the contestants have at some point taken their top off, yet this does not mean that they are either bad people or unable to balance a crown on their head.

Considering their contestants parade around in bikinis, it is remarkable that Miss America officials express such moral outrage at a pageant winner showing her breasts. Yet, while pageant officials were wrong to even bring up the issue, Revels should have shown enough courage to stand up for the cause at the time—demonstrating this courage would have been a better indicator of her qualifications.

It is now too late for her, since Thursday a federal judge denied her motion to force the Miss America organization to recognize her as a contestant. He correctly acknowledged that, as a private institution, the pageant could make its own decisions about participants.

But just because the organization is on strong legal ground in its case against Revels, it is on far shakier moral ground. The pageant’s actions and moral prudishness have tarnished its reputation.

We all share guilt for failure to oppose wrongdoing I disagree with some of the fundamentals of Nick Christie’s column.

to thank Christie for dragging this into the public eye. It is too easy for us to brush atrocities under the rug and, without any real apology, to move on. These lynchings happened; hundreds of people were brutally murdered by mobs with no legal recourse.

Despite all so, shouldn’t every member my attempts to be better of the human race bear than I am, I have, through

my own insensitivity, contributed directly to these systems. I have not stood up as quickly as I should have in the face of wrongdoing. I, inasmuch as all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing, have hurt people. We all have.

The beauty and grace of our lives and our societies is not found in being guiltless, but in recognizing that despite our failures, we still have the ability to strive to be more and attempt to right the wrongs that will always be a part of this world.

Southerners remember their history, good and bad As a Southerner, I feel that far too often the South is portrayed in the media as racist

and backward. Nick Christie’s column raised old feelings of confusion and frustration in me. His argument, if one could call it that, was a rather pitiful attempt to demonstrate generalities of the whole South, today,from specific and particular instances in the past. Christie wrote, “In the South, embarrassing truths are smoothed over.” It’s simply not true. Christie is a liar.

In my home state, we don’t gloss over the ugly parts of history, we embrace them and learn from them. We remember when General Ulysses S. Grant took Vicksburg and how our soldiers were forced to eat rats. We remember reconstruction and carpetbagHttp:

gers and we certainly recall when William T. Sherman destroyed our croplands and our way of life. We remember these atrocities.

And we remember Jim Crow and the end of segregation. And at the University of Mississippi, we respectfully remember when 40 years ago we welcomed our first African-

American student, James Meredith, into the student body. Just this week, Meredith came back to Ole Miss, just as he does every year, to celebrate that anniversary.

I am not proud of all the things that have happened here. However, my fellow Mississippians and I are trying to learn from our past and become a better people, without leaving behind the good things in our culture, like the

I have to shake my head in wonder at Nick Christie’s tirade against the South and wonder if this sports editor has ever opened a history book or opened his eyes and looked around him.

Is he aware that just a few / /

so tritely cast aside.

If there is no atonement for the South for its iniqui-

ties, then what of these Untied States, and the murders and tortures it has committed? Is our nation beyond forgiveness?

The South is not perfect. It is flawed and it has its problems and its historical and moral dilemmas, but so does America as a whole and so does every other nation in the world. And I’m sure, Christie, that you could reflect on your own life and recall events of which you are not especially proud, as could we all.

If you don’t like it here, Christie, get out.
